Magnetic laptop everywhere?

My Asus laptop is magnetic everywhere. You don't need that to close. Sometimes the back of the screen is so magnetic that you can even feel it if you run your hand over it. How can that be?

Si

I find it very difficult to imagine being able to feel magnetic properties with my hand. Can you please describe the feeling?

Please try turning the power plug 180 degrees (poles reversed) to plug in and compare?

You can't feel magnetism.

It's magnetic, a nail stays upright on it. It's not attached to the cable. I don't know whether there's a connection with the feeling on the back of the screen. It feels like wiping your hand across the screen of an old tube TV that's switched on.

How long is the battery life without a power adapter? What current does the power supply unit deliver, at what voltage?

Fo

A magnet would attract the nail and not make it stand upright.

ASUS AC adapter;

Input: 100 - 240V ~ 1.2A 50-60Hz

Output: 19V 2.37A

Model: ADP 45BW C

Battery life currently approx. 3 hours

Na

Statically charged. Did you get the device used?

Xz

He attracts him. The nail "stuck" to the bottom of the case, that's how I came up with it. If I put the nail on the laptop with the hammer side, it stays upright.

Xz

No, it is not used. Only had it for repairs at Media Markt once last year.

Si

45W sounds normal. The magnetic field would lead to high currents, so that the power supply would get quite hot and the battery life would be half as long or less. The effect described is more likely to be attributed to a static E field. Perhaps you can repeat the question or add the Asus model to determine whether the same thing can be observed with identical models.

Mu

You mean statically charged, not magnetic

Only Ironman feels magnetism…

Sure a laptop has a power plug?

su

Who knows. Implants?

Xz

Can it be statically charged even when it is turned off and not attached to the power cord?

Xz

That's not true, so is Chuck Norris.

It is magnetic, a nail stays upright on it or "sticks" to the bottom of the housing when lying down - that's how I noticed the whole thing in the first place. It's not attached to the cable. I don't know whether there's a connection with the feeling on the back of the screen. It feels like wiping your hand across the screen of an old tube TV that's switched on. And all of this even when it's out.

Regardless of whether it is magnetic, statically charged or both: how can that be?
